ItoMerdum as n test -hip to determin"
the attitude of Great Mritniu toward
changes of registry after the outbreak
of hostilities. Pi once, in seizing Iter,
claimed never to havo recognised

Tho Ameru'iui government, however,
took tho position that while France
applied that rule in the Daeiti ease,
hM practice in the p.it had not bseu
uniform and that actually many

acknowledged.
It has been generally credited (hat

WASIIlN'fJTON', Nov. w.Harl
Kitchener's ultiitiate mission dining
his mysterious absence from the Writ
isli wni office is said by cniiflilcntinl
information received here today, to
he in India, where, according to the
same information, Hritish rule is con
fronted with u more serious state of
unrest than has gcncmlly been known
outside of Hritish official circles.
Through tho thick veil which the
Hritish censorship has thrown about
thu events in India nnd Kgypt comes
u statement thnt Xnwab, .Saltan UI
mutk, tho Nizam of Hyderabad, one
of tho most influent in! of tho native
prince, nnd a rtauneli Mipportor of
the Hritit.li, has been deposed by his
people.
Ilcasou for Dcparluro
This dovolnpmcnt. coming na ono
of tho climaxes to successive reports
of mutinios and unrest, many of
which have been substantiated nnd
admitted by the Hritish government,
is miid to ho the lending reason of
Karl Kitchener's departure from
Knglaud, which has been shrouded
with much scereev.
It has been officially announced
that Ute head of tho Hritish war of
fice was on his way to the theater of
operations m tho uoar oast, whtuli has
boon gonerally interpreted as moaning
thu Hulknns, whore the critical situa
tion of the moment confronts (ho nl
licd forces, Iiiformutiou reaching tho
I 'nileil Stales, however, through
channels not suhp'ct to censorship is
to tho ettoct that it is well known in
Loudon mnong thoso close to tho gov
ernment that while Karl Kitchener
miiy slop in tho Halknns to co-ordinate
tho efforts of tho tillied forces,
Ids ultimate destination is not only
India, but Kgypt as well, where the
Hritish giitewav to Ash now is men
aced by the Teiitoiiic-Hulgnrian-Turk
successes in the Ilalkans. Coupled
with repeated rumois of activities of
(lermuti agents fomenting discontent
among the native population of India
have come reports of disaffection in
Kgypt, also asuiihud to tho same
sources.
Arousing tho .Natives
Since llio Turks failed to cut tho
Suez canal, mainly through thu
prompt arrival of colonial troops from
New Zealand and Australia, il lint,
been reported that agents from Con
stantinople ami Merlin have been con
ducting a persistent proimgeudn
among the natives. Some tune ago

The importance to tho Hnli-h ot

the fact that at the critical mmiicnt
